Default This Morning's Results

Not sure why, but just a few minutes ago I tested Metrocast's speed through the widget Don provided above and got a download speed of 275 and an upload speed of 356. I then went directly to the Speedtest.net site and got the following results:



I just ran the test through the widget again (using the Portland site again) and got a download speed of 297 and an upload speed of 351. Could the load on Don's server be affecting the test results I wonder?

Also, the Speedtest.net site indicates that my average upload speed through Metrocast over a dozen or so tests is 364 kb/s, versus a New Hampshire overall ISP average of 1,273 kb/s. Interestingly, GWC's upload speed was 1,969 kb/s through Comcast. Why is Metrocast's upload speed so dismal?
